Target Builder:It costs them more to store, process and deliver the stuff than they can sell it for. Releasing huge volumes of it into the air creates a rather serious explosion hazard. So they just burn it.

Correct. Natural gas is used at the site or flared. Solution, regulate the companies to liquify it at the site or build an electric plant at the site or convert it to ethylene. Here's an example Link

stiletto_the_wise:Somehow, I knew this was somehow Obama's fault, and not greed and short-sightedness on the part of business.

It's the hardcore greens. Obama does have to placate them, but all the fracking jobs in Ohio and Pennsylvania are part of what put him over the top in November and don't think the party doesn't know that.

Every bit of indigenous energy we can extract is that much less reason to bow and scrape to the Saudis.

GAT_00:Solon Isonomia: Dancin_In_Anson: Solon Isonomia: Right, but which manufacturers are creating the bottleneck at the DoE?

Here is am article regarding this issue.

And another.

Ahhhh, so the fight is over the amount of exports. Hmm... one would think an improved infrastructure combined with the heaps of newly available natural gas would be an effective way to keep domestic prices stable while reaping a profit on the export market. Of course, that would assume infrastructure could be created in a timely manner and the brokers on the futures market don't create too many wild price spikes.

Or you intentionally don't overshoot the demand so you don't have to burn off your product. How hard is it to actually build for demand?

Reminds me of the forced destruction of crops and cattle at the end of WW1. It wound up hurting pretty much everyone. Same as the previous housing bubble, but more Americans were affected since (then, anyways) we were still more agrarian and there were fewer prtective measures put in place...not so many now, either...

You can't generally burn this gas in engines because of how wet it is.

Not exactly true. It's both.

When there is a low cover of clouds and I'm driving to location the clouds glow brightest over the flares. This is because light plants are focused on the ground and because they still flare once the people leave and the light plants are gone.

And while you're mostly correct about engines, there are other ways to harness the energy. Turbines, for instance...

GAT_00:brandent: GAT_00: brandent: Paris1127: Now, call me crazy, but why don't they, you know, use that natural gas? You know, instead of just burning it? Maybe use it to power the local community?

/fracking's bad enough//now they're just being wasteful

a) There is no local community. This is extrab) Nobody will let them build pipelines. Something about how it might hurt the environment to build a pipeline. So instead they burn it. Works out well that way.

You can build relatively safe pipelines. The safety equipment exists that would prevent all the blowouts that are so common. But the holy bottom line is better, and that costs a little more, so fark the future.

No what I'm saying is way more explicit. The Obama administration is putting blocks on the plans for pipelines. They'd rather the stuff burn off into the atmosphere I guess.

Those pipelines get blocked because the companies don't bother trying to prevent environmental damage. Keystone was blocked, for example, yes I know that's oil and not NG, because they didn't scout a route across Nebraska, leaving a very serious potential of an oil leak into the Ogallala aquifer. They don't use advanced safety techniques, because they know they won't have to pay for the decades of damage.

And even then, the pipeline was going to be confirmed as soon as they specified the route. These are being blocked because these lazy farks refuse to do basic work to prevent decades of damage for a few dollars.

Yes true. In this case it seems like there's a role for the administration to play however. Use their enforcement capabilities to fast track through the various state and federal agencies a plan however in return the company has to abide by strict requirements and also create a regulation (or perhaps enforce an existing one) that would eliminate or at least minimize flaring. But instead it seems the administration just wants to say no and let the damage take place somewhere like ND that nobody cares about.

Feral_and_Preposterous:And while you're mostly correct about engines, there are other ways to harness the energy. Turbines, for instance...

CSRV generators from Coates. Available days after a phone call. Inexpensive compared to turbines or other interesting generators, low maintenance and high efficiency. They work beautifully. Why more rights owners don't require them is beyond me.

Sometimes. It's cheap as shiat right now and they are drilling primarily for oil. It's not worth the effort or investment to build the infrastructure to pipe it out. Now, if there was say an overseas market that would be willing to pay a metric farkton more than it's bringing domestically...Oh wait!

That being said, flaring gas at the well site is nothing new. My Dad told me that back in the 50s you could drive through the fields south of Electra Texas at midnight at it was almost as bright as day.

Whether or not you have a point is overshadowed by your overzealous idealism.

Make your point without all of the hyperbole, and it will be taken more seriously. DIA would probably take you more seriously if you didn't just start off by accusing him of sucking corporate wang (paraphrased).

Before you start unzipping your pants to jerk off over the pipeline, keep in mind it was going to be built so production from the oil sands in Canada, currently our main source of gasoline, could instead be shipped to more profitable areas of the world, which in turn would have raised our fuel prices. So, yeah, fark the pipeline, and every industry shill who supports it.

Still, it feels like they're leaving money on the table, even with the cost of infrastructure in comparison to the massive desire for natural gas. It's a limited resource, why not just gather and store?

Because they make more short-term profit this way. Just as Supply Side Jesus commanded.
